If I recall correctly the editing window, for any post, is two hours.

ETA: Within that window the edit button will appear first on the lower right.

And again, that window is for historical reasons. When this forum was owned by the James Randi Educational Foundation and used for challenges where there was literally a million dollars at stake, they didn't want people to be able to claim that they did or didn't say something earlier in the thread and justify themselves by going back and editing older posts.

I think it still is helpful, since many posts elicit specific responses, and changing the thing responded to can be dishonest, and even when honest it can be confusing. In fast moving threads, its a good idea, I think, to make even quick edits obvious with an "edit to add" notation, unless one is just cleaning up typos or polishing language.

Hello fellow humans.

I promise I'm not an alien (unless you're from somewhere other than Earth, in which case I am. Also Hi!).

I haven't even eavesdropped for a while before this so this should be fun! I prefer to jump in headfirst and ask questions later - unless I've already ratonalised everything and don't bother asking questions because I've assumed the answers already.

Be prepared!

Welcome, nezumi. As far as I know my paternal grandfather was an anchor alien. Born here on Earth (as well as the USA) while his parents had to go back from whence they came. Also I don't recall any kind of bot test when signing up.

So human or not, wellcome everyone.

To quote Caesar from "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes"

"And we, who are not human, can afford to be humane."
 
As far as I know I was born on earth or a facsimile of it (some might make a case that New Haven is,like the mouth of a Klein bottle, not exactly in or out and its somewhere is not quite anywhere) but have been told often enough to return to earth that it's a little ambiguous where I have been since, so welcome, fellow traveler.
 
That didn't take long, did it? Eager for a new learning experience, Caroline, eager as always to get the terminology just right, tests for the difference between a suspension and a ban. In this cruel world of plots and deceivers and shills and malevolent medicine and virtue signaling libwoke cabals it's hard to be certain what the enemy really means. Now you know for sure. Well done.
 
Hello, I am a new member.
Sorry about my English in advance: it's not my native language.

I tried, because clicking on links few others probably bother with floats my boat, but it came back with
"No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator". You are hereby served notice, kind admin.

Some intriguing stuff not far upthread about plots and deceivers and shills and malevolent medicine. Sounds like I'd better steer clear.

I've been on forums like forever, it feels weird to have a New Blood currently right above where some day I'll be allowed an avatar. But New Blood I am. Is there an initiation rite I should be made aware of, or will it happen when I'm least expecting it?

Hiya and Welcome Aboard!

If you are asking about when you change from New Blood and can have an avatar, it is based on your post count. Rack up like 50 posts I think, and you can upload or choose one.
